Enabling Kerberos authentication
For a device running the mobile app to properly negotiate the SSO Kerberos authentication, you must configure your mobile device to use Kerberos. You can accomplish this task by creating and installing a configuration profile. You must edit the configuration profile to fit your environment.
About this task
The configuration profile for specifying Kerberos authentication is contained in an XML file that has the file extension .mobileconfig.
Before you begin
- Spotfire® for Apple iOS version 2.14.x or higher.
- Spotfire® Server 14.0.x or 12.0.x or higher, configured to use Kerberos with Delegation.
- Apple iOS version 14 or higher.

What to do next
To test the configuration, restart your device. Open the Analytics app on your mobile device. If you have not already done so, add the library server with the Kerberos authentication you configured. When you add the library server in the app, it does not matter what you specify for Username and Password, because these values are not used when your mobile device authenticates using Kerberos. You can leave these fields empty.
- Sample .mobileconfig file
Copy the example code and modify it to use on your mobile device for enabling Kerberos.
